I certainly agree that some of the routes are under and over graded.But hey, grading is controversial and subjective.Maybe we should have a Quarry climbing day, where everyone discuss and agree to proper grades?

all of your routes Niel.....are sandbags joking ! but for example ''25% for woodwork'' is stiff. Probably because one keeps on getting sand and dust and pebbles in your eyes from those shallow divots all the way up the route.There are two routes on the left of the quarry as you enter which are stiff for their 15 and 18 grade.The routes on the main wall i think are graded accurately but there is a lot of sceptisism about the grade of ANC.I have heard everything from 19 to 22 for that climb.i think its deffo 20, maybe 21 at a push.

I'll swing by and check out 20% for Woodwork sometime to see if anything broke. Back when i bolted it (Absolute Interpreter and Umshini Wami too) I spent quite a bit of time cleaing so I'd be surprised if there was anything left to break off but I guess you never know.

If any of you have ever seen Mr Mustard (aka Slabmaster) dancing his way up a slab, it isn't hard to imagine that his routes at Higgovale might be slightly sandbagged Agree about the nefarious crack, not harder than 20. A sandy 20, but not a hard one. What about the line going straight up from the same start as nefarious crack? I remember thinking it was maybe 23 but graded 24, is that still the case?
